Any updates on the K6XS ?
I'm curious how these are working out POA / POI wise,
it would be pretty nice to shoot 130 - 148gr to POA.

I'm curious about the same thing, here's another thread on it, he estimated 6" high with 148s - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...review.932807/Originally Posted by D-der
I still haven't tried 110 grain yet, but literally everything else I have shot out of it shoots high. 135 grain short barrel, shoots high, 125 grain non plus P gold dot shoots high, all 129-158 grain FMJ shoots high, 4 different types of 148 grain wad cutter shoot about 3-4 inches high. I am not sure what its regulated for, but 10 yards and out I am aiming low to hit where I want.
What really blows my mind is my regular K6 2 inch shoots to POA/POI with gold dots and wadcutters. It is just so much heavier it doesn't really work as an ankle or pocket gun as well and if I am going to carry something that heavy on the belt I might as well just carry a bigger gun.

Have you been able to try 110s yet?
I recently pickedup a K6xs. When I first got the it the trigger was kinda heavy and I could feel stages in it but it was mostly smooth. I dryfired the gun until my hand got tired and the trigger pull came down and evened out a good bit. I will probably install a TK customs spring kit in the future but I want to get a few more round through it first to make sure there's no issues with the gun. But with where the trigger has gotten to it's not necessary. The trigger is as good or better than my LCRs.
I got out to the range and put an entire box of Aguila 130grain FMJs through it and everything was fine. After that I shot a couple cylinders worth of Fiocci 158 SWC, noticably more recoil but no issues with the gun. I put a cylinder worth of Federal Critical Defense 110 grain +p through it and it shot to the sights, though I was only at 5 yards. The 158s seemed to shoot a little higher but to be fair I have fallen way off in my shooting skill.
I was also shooting other guns and around this point the wind was picking up and it had been colder than I was expecting. I was planning on shooting more but the weather wasn't cooperating and I had other obligations so I cut it short.
I did notice after we had shot it a little that one chamber was slightly tighter than the others but not enough to really hold anyhting up. Before we got the gun dirty it was not noticable.
I have not. No where local has them, and haven't been ordering from any of the bigger mail order places as I pretty much have only been shooting the high desert stuff.
I figured I'd wait until Kimber had a chance (or two), to fix the canted barrel, I'm happy to report that after receiving my K6xs the second time it is now shooting correctly, though they didn't re-do the front orange sight even though I asked them to do that twice.
If you're looking to pick one up ensure that the barrel is correctly aligned before starting that paperwork!!!
When testing it after buying it the shots were about 4-5" to the right, the second time around they were about 2-3" to the right (I sent them the test targets).
After they returned it the second time, they included a test target from one of their Team Members.
My testing after receiving it back the second time 10 shots @15yards with my 138gr BNWC loads... it'll shoot! (POA @ 6 o'clock on a 6" target)

Put another 62 rounds through my K6xs. I forgot my dang targets so I had to hung up trash to shoot at. At 15 yards Critical Defense 110+p shot as close to the sights as I was able with where my eyes have gotten too and the fact I was shooting at a plastic sack with a bit of tape on it. I can see the bullet holes on the target but the sights are blurry. I only very recently got my first set of glasses and 99% or the time I don't even need them so I never remember to bring them anywhere. The bullets were evenly spread around the target so at least the sights seem to be regulated properly. Zero issues with the gun so far. This weekend I plan on burning up the last of my .38 Special stock and if everything goes well I'll be ordering a TK customs spring kit, some Hamre Forge hooked grips, and 250 rounds of revolver food.
Nooope.
I shot my K6xs today with some new hamreforge grips. It seemed to fix the issues I was having, which makes it seem more like the way the gun pointed with the stock grips. I was able to stack bullets with federal gold medal match and with some 130 grain high desert cartridge FMJs. I also shot some speer gold dot 135s that printed an acceptable group. I am really liking this little gun with proper grips.
